Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Build muscle memory by performing the same move perfectly until it becomes automatic.
Setup
Place 3 cones in a straight line, each 10 yards apart. Two players start at Cone A; one player starts at Cone C. Cone B is the 'defender' in the middle.
Drill Instructions
1. Player 1 from Cone A dribbles toward the middle Cone B. 2. Perform a designated skill move to 'beat' the cone. 3. Accelerate briefly, then pass to the player at Cone C. 4. The player at Cone C repeats the process going the opposite direction.
Coach Tip
Exaggerate the fake! Sell the move with your whole body, not just your feet, to freeze the defender.
Avoid
Doing the move too far away or too close to the cone; timing is everything.
